headaches

Hi
Im a 26 yo male.Im having some headache, which arent necessarily v severe but im worried bcoz they seem to be concentrated in one area. The pain feels like heaviness in the right parietal lobe.Most of the time it just stays there but sometimes it seems to radiate or travel down(slowly) to the hard palate or more accurately the junction between soft and hard palate.Im a first yr medical student, so i dono if it has anything to do with stress(i not as stressed abt it as many other ppl...). Im just worried that its not anything more serious like a tumour...Any advice?

Unfortunately, the diagnosis of a brain tumor is difficult to make on your described symptoms.  I suggest that you see your primary care doctor to go over your symptoms.
